NAME
Kubernetes::REST::CLI - CLI base class for Kubernetes::REST command-line tools
VERSION
version 1.107
SYNOPSIS
kube_client <command> [options]
# Get resources
kube_client get Pod my-pod -n default
kube_client get Deployment --output yaml
# Create from file
kube_client create -f deployment.yaml
# Delete resources
kube_client delete Pod my-pod -n default
DESCRIPTION
Base class for the kube_client command-line tool. Provides common functionality for managing Kubernetes resources from the command line.
This tool uses Kubernetes::REST::Kubeconfig to connect to the cluster: --kubeconfig if given, otherwise the KUBECONFIG environment variable, otherwise ~/.kube/config. A :-separated list of kubeconfig files is merged the way kubectl merges it, see "MERGING" in Kubernetes::REST::Kubeconfig.
COMMANDS
get
kube_client get <Kind> [name] [options]
Get a resource or list resources.
- get Pod - List all pods in the namespace
- get Pod my-pod - Get a specific pod
- --output json (default) - JSON output
- --output yaml - YAML output
- --output name - Names only
create
kube_client create -f <file>
Create resources from a YAML or JSON manifest. Use -f - to read from stdin. The format is detected from the content, and multi-document YAML creates every ----separated document in order.
delete
kube_client delete <Kind> <name> [options]
Delete a resource by name.
raw
kube_client raw <Group> <Method> [key=value ...]
Make a raw call through the deprecated v0 API.
GLOBAL OPTIONS
namespace
Namespace for namespaced resources. Defaults to default.
Short form: -n
output
Output format. One of: json, yaml, name.
Defaults to json.
Short form: -o
ATTRIBUTES
json
JSON::MaybeXS encoder instance used for --output json. Configured pretty, canonical (stable key ordering) and utf8 - the utf8 flag is what makes format_output print UTF-8 bytes instead of characters, so non-ASCII values survive the way to the terminal instead of triggering "Wide character in print".
METHODS
format_output
$cli->format_output($result);
Format and print the result according to the --output option (json, yaml, or name). Any other value falls back to a raw dump via Data::Dumper, mainly useful for debugging.
execute
Default execute method, invoked by MooX::Cmd when kube_client is run without a recognized subcommand. Prints usage information to STDOUT.
